"Pace, il produttore: Why piece together the tatters of your life - the vague memories, the faces... the people you never knew how to love?"

"Life is so full of confusion already, there's no need to add chaos to the chaos."

"Destroying is better than creating, when we're not creating those few truly necessary things."

"You see, what stands out at a first reading is the lack of a central issue or a philosophical stance. That makes the film a chain of gratuitous episodes which may even be amusing in their ambivalent realism. You wonder, what is the director really trying to do? Make us think? Scare us? That ploy betrays a basic lack of poetic inspiration."

"It's better to destroy than create what's unnecessary."

"The truth is: I do not know... I seek... I have not yet found. Only with this in mind can I feel alive and look at you without shame."

"All the confusion of my life... has been a reflection of myself! Myself as I am, not as I'd like to be."

"My Dears... Happiness consists of being able to tell the truth without hurting anyone."

"I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film that could help bury forever all those dead things we carry within ourselves. Instead, I'm the one without the courage to bury anything at all. When did I go wrong? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it all the same."

"Enough of symbolism and these escapist themes of purity and innocence."

"This country's still growing up. Certain diseases, you're better off having when you're still young."

"As boys, they made a pact to share their fortunes, their loves, their lives. As men, they shared a dream to rise from poverty to power. Forging an empire built on greed, violence and betrayal, their dream would end as a mystery that refuse to die."

"As boys, they said they would die for each other. As men, they did."

"Deborah Gelly: I read books, I want to learn everything, I want to know everything. Doesn't it make sense to have plans?"

"Frankie Minaldi: [introducing the gang to Joe] Here they are, "The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse"! Did you happen to see that movie, Joe? It's a good movie."
